Introduction to Suburban Backyard Composting

Starting from scratch with little to no experience in composting? Need help picking out the right composter? Or have you already started but just need some help?

Voula, our compost coach, is here to help you get the right composting system with the right outputs to fit your needs!

Book a time-slot at Voula’s Calendly to have a consultation and/or get in touch with her to create a custom program.

Considerations: space you have available, neighbor considerations/HOA rules, critters you want (earthworms) vs. critters you don’t want (rodents), time and effort you want to put in, what kind of soil you want out of it, where do you want to use the soil?

Consultation includes an in-person visit or zoom call to get to know your goals with composting and choosing the right product for you.

Please use Voula’s Calendly if you’re ready to book a session, or reach out to Voula via email or phone if you have questions: voula@source-compost.com or (201) 669-5137.
